Report 1
You should remember Maruf from my last report, Oh yes the guy who played on the wings and was very impressive. On another Saturday, while I was going about the stadia premises, looking for boys playing excitingly, I noticed him again, and I concluded that it was going to be a better decision if I just follow up on an old project. I took my time and stood there watching him as he blazed around with the ball. Apart from his ability to play on the wings, he is also good whenever moving, with speed which makes it hard for his opponents to track him. He scored in 2 different games for his set. I waited around hoping to have a chat with him, but unfortunately he had other plans, as his babe was up at the pitch to accompany him when he was done.

Report 2
Witnessing an interesting encounter there at the stadium, two team from two different streets coming head to head to show off their skills and prove how superior they are. It was actually in a competition organised by the chairman of the local government for street youths to come show off and if possible raise a team to rep the area in coming competitions. The outstanding player in today’s match was none other than Afonja who was in a red jersey and a black long short. Look at the way he dominates the midfield, and rendering passes to enable movement in attacking. However, I would not want to quickly forget the fact that the rest of the footballers were also sploofic when it came to direct play.

Still at the group stages of the local competition, with every team putting their possible best to see themself prevail and win a whooping sum of #500,000. The next match I had the opportunity to view was on a Friday evening, the streets must be from a far region, because none of the boys fielded wield a familiar face. It was not as interesting as the last match, however I was still able to pick out an outstanding performer. The name might be ringing a bad bell in the head of many Nigerians as he bears d same name with a well despised DICTATOR who once ruled Nigeria. His name is Ibrahim Abacha, he held the upfront position for his team and made a huge impact in helping them win with a 4-2 lead. The other team however fielded too many dull players, and must be the main contributor to their loss.

And the competition continues as I was in the stadium to watch another street clash, right now it was just a match away from the second round, so it had a lot of the teams playing to their best to get the required points to qualify. As usual, I took my sit and watch the involved teams of today play together, it was a cool game, not one which much surprises as both teams have already qualified, and were fielding their fringe player to get a fill of their capabilities. The game had both teams trying to exhibit skills which they wouldn’t in a normal match. This made it uninteresting with few to mark out.

The group games are done and the boys in each street are preparing for the next round which is scheduled to come up in about 3 weeks’ time, Up unto my Job, I was on the stadium premises again looking for talents. I came across a particular group, preparing together and clearing out their errors in previous matches, it was then I came across Bruno Smith who apart from looking like a baller was also with the muscle of a boxer. He is the guy in green shorts with no top on. He played as a defensive midfielder, and showed good composure in is movements.

Another training preparation match was on the role today, the street footballers, preparing to play the other streets. They had to do a brief fitness training and then go ahead to play a 4 aside game to test their skills. It was a good training session with Olabode tipped to be the better of the available players. He is a utility player, but I think he is stronger and a threat when used as a midfielder. He showed with his moves that football is not all about energy burning, but technical skills and ability to reason along with your team-mates
Thanks "Big" Mike!
